Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor were truly the ideal couple back in those days. But life had some plans for both, and they parted ways after Jab We Met. The actors have done several films together earlier than that, but Shahid’s revelations on the idea of working with KK again post-breakup shocked the netizens.
Back in a chatshow, in 2009, Kahiye Janab, Shahid Kapoor said, “Today I don’t like talking about my personal relationship because I feel that it’s my personal space. When I was in a relationship with Kareena, I used to think differently, but now things have changed. I have always wanted normalcy in my life. I have come from a middle-class family and a basic background, where I have travelled in buses and trains. I never lived in a bungalow surrounded by guards. But, the fact is that life changes after you become a star and I try my best not to get carried away by my celebrity lifestyle.”
Talking about his break-up with Kareena Kapoor, he said, “Breaking up with Kareena was tough, it did hurt. But as an actor, I have never let anything come in the way of my work. I have always given my best. I will. I have said this right from the time ‘the breakup’ happened that if a good movie comes and the director tells me that no one else except Kareena will suit a certain role, then I have no right to say that I won’t do the film. In fact, if my director will ask me to romance a cow or a buffalo, I will do that. It’s my job.”
